I just wanted to say thank you guys and Casainho, for all the amazing work, I found you guys thur a U-tube vid by that Aussie guy with the TSD kit...
after having done all the research found this to be hands down the best value and performace of any kit I can find under 2k here in AU
after using the TSDZ2 kit stock I found the RPM a bit slow...for my knees...
So I uploaded the older OSF firmware as ECO cycles recomoned... (config screen is short click then long press of main power button on 850C)
WOW< its a new motor, and a big difference... but it lacked power mid range, using stock setting of the new Open source firmware.
This was a lack of setup on my side, as after checking the touque sensor readout...against what the settings were...I could see, my older TS was outputing lower numbers...so the motor was not seeing me pressing on the pedals in the mid range, with my puny 70kg weight...once I adjusted the values to match what I was outputing, the mid range was much better.
I still wanted it to tweek it more...I wanted very lite power at low foot press...so I can ride in parks with kids around...at very slow speed...or tech my way up a off road hill... so to start I used a low PAS mode...but at low PAS...I don't have that raw power in the mid range. so I would change up..to a higher PAS, for that more power...
I would have stayed in higher PAS all the time and feather the foot press....but in high PAS the 'at start power' was a bit too much...for going slowly around kids... I kinda did not want to have to change PAS level
maybe this is in the new firmware just releaced, I am not sure..but I was on older firmware I did not have that option to change the start up speed of a PAS level...I had a boost at start...but I needed the oppisite if I wanted to say in a high PAS level with a slow start... there was no NEG value in the boost, so what I did was just change the touque sensor settings so to trick the motor into thinking I was pushing less at the start.... this gave me my 'low speed mode' at the start of my touque range but still keep the great power once I pressed harder, as I was in a higher PAS level...(totaly the wrong way to do it, I know)
I am really happy now...and can't wait to upgrade to this new high cadence versions...
a bit of info....when I am clipped in...to my pedals, my RPM is higher....than if i am using flat pedals and normal shoes...if I want good speed on my commuite, I would be clipped in and using higher cadence for sure...when cruzing...I would use flats and reg shoes and lower cadence
this newer high cadence mode is a very good thing to try...as it opens the range of the OSF to many more people...
this is such a great project I made sure I supported how I could, I donated $50 to Casainho, so he can keep going...and will support this project in Australia any way I can...I work in electronics and use 3d printers here at work...so maybe we can get some mod boxes done for AU testers, with profits going to Casainho, open to ideas....
keep up the amazing work!!
